These catnip balls are our naturally farm-grown treats for your cat. The three balls are Catnip, Silvervine, and Gall Fruit. Catnip contains the feline attractant nepetalactone, a recreational substance for pet cats’ enjoyment. Common behaviors cats display when they sense the Catnip balls are rubbing on the plant, rolling on the ground, pawing at it, licking it, and chewing it.
Consuming much of the plant is followed by drooling, sleepiness, anxiety, leaping, and purring. Some growl, meow, scratch, or bite at the hand holding it. The primary response period after exposure is generally between 5 and 15 minutes, after which olfactory fatigue usually sets in. However, about one-third of cats are unaffected by Catnip. Silvervine is also a naturally grown herb similar to Catnip, probably more intense.
It relieves stress and anxiety, stimulates natural hunting instincts, and provides medicinal benefits. About 80% of cats respond to Silvervine. Gall Fruit is the fruit of Silvervine. The gall fruit contains higher concentrations of the natural olfactory attractant (nepetalactone) to trigger a more playful reaction in cats. It mainly helps to Improve appetite and promote digestion.
